Overview
The vulnerability CVE-2025-30135 is a critical security flaw discovered in IROAD Dashcam FX2 devices. It pertains to the lack of authentication controls on both the HTTP and RTSP interfaces, which can potentially lead to unauthorized data retrieval and potential system compromise. This vulnerability is particularly significant as it exposes sensitive files and video recordings, putting users’ privacy and security at risk. As dashcams are widely utilized for various security purposes, the impact of this vulnerability can be widespread and severe if not mitigated promptly.

How the Exploit Works
The exploit works by taking advantage of the lack of authentication controls on the HTTP and RTSP interfaces of IROAD Dashcam FX2 devices. An attacker can connect to the HTTP interface at http://192.168.10.1/mnt/extsd/event/ to download all stored video recordings in an unencrypted format. Similarly, the attacker can access the RTSP stream on port 8554 without needing any authentication, allowing them to view live footage.
Conceptual Example Code
Below is a conceptual example of how an attacker might exploit this vulnerability using an HTTP request to download the stored video recordings:
GET /mnt/extsd/event/ HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.10.1Alternatively, an attacker might use an RTSP client to access the live footage:
rtsp://192.168.10.1:8554/Mitigation Guidance
It is strongly advised that users apply the vendor-supplied patch to address this vulnerability. In the absence of such a patch, users can use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as temporary mitigation solutions. These systems can help detect and block unauthorized attempts to access the sensitive interfaces. Users should also consider implementing secure access controls, such as robust authentication mechanisms, to further protect these interfaces.
